President Bola Tinubu said that he doesn’t believe in blaming past administrations for Nigeria’s current socio-economic and security challenges.
Tinubu at the launch of the Agric Mechanisation Revolution for Food Security in Minna, emphasized his commitment to taking proactive measures to reshape the country’s finances and lead it toward progress.
He urged for immediate action, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and consistency to overcome challenges and turn them into economic opportunities.
Additionally, he pledged to address the economic sabotage caused by herders and assured governors of a comprehensive program within a few weeks to tackle the issue.
“When you read the papers, some of us are confused whether to abuse the present or the past (governments) or make excuses for the future.
“(It’s) not in my dictionary. Take action now, do your best, re-engineer the finances of the country and stay ahead on the right path. Those who may be complaining now have to understand that perseverance and consistency will make a nation great.
“It is that time for Nigeria to face the challenge and make it an economic opportunity. We must care for people and harness our farming population, including livestock farming.”
Tinubu also said he is committed to ending economic sabotage caused by herders whose cows destroy farmlands. He said;
“I know what it means as an act of economic sabotage when for roaming cows to eat up the crops and vegetation of our lands. I know it could be painful but when we reorient the herders and make provision for cattle rearing, (this will end).
“You are the governors who must provide the land. Provide us with the land. I, as the President, I am committed to giving you in two, three weeks’ time, a comprehensive programme that will this problem.”
